Lux Calc 1.0.0.0

A tool to help in performing a variety of lighting related calculations on your Windows Phone
There are numerous highly specialized fields of activity where specialists use all sorts of utilities that assist them in carrying out a variety of tasks in an easier fashion. Preparing the stage lighting for a theater play, for instance, requires some careful planning and a lot of precise calculations.

Those who are used to rely on gadgets and mobile devices that make their work a little bit simpler will surely appreciate a dedicated app like Lux Calc, which can be installed and used from any compatible Windows Phone handset.

Bare GUI, designed exclusively for practical use

There is no doubt that this application was made with the focus solely on functionality as the interface is really unappealing and as simple as it gets. Moving from one section of the app to another is done seamlessly, without any lags or flaws of any kind.

The main screen hosts three large shortcuts for the main calculation areas and there is no element of graphical design that could pass even remotely as appealing to the eye.

Fast calculations for a variety of parameters

Lux Calc is equipped with a set of tools that will come in handy when trying to determine the exact values of some vital parameters. The "Power Formula" module enables you to find out the exact wattage, voltage or amperage as long as you can provide the values for any two of these factors.

In case you have to carry out some computations related to the beam angle, beam diameter or the lighting unit distance from the target object for creating a pool of light of certain dimensions, these can be carried out from the "Beam calculations" area.

The basic conversions from footcandles (fc) to lux (lx) and vice versa are not forgotten also and they have a separate section where you can input the numbers and get the results with a single tap.
